Re: Andrea Jung is making my life a living hell

Steve,
I know we are just getting to know each other. But, I could spot you a phone number for anyone on the set of Boston Legal if you could get me this ravishing woman's phone number.

You said something about responsibility to stockholders -- and I'm with you about "eyes glazing over." However, I could use a little of this trouble in my life. I've been naughty and this is the lady to set me straight.

Straight up.
Woof!

Re: Cramer talking us down too

I heard somewhere that you can whisper in is ear "Buy an Indexed fund at the lowest price possible and you will beat a broker every time." And Cramer will actually do a somersault and start banging his hands together like a toy monkey -- no kidding.

You might think its about joy or something -- but I saw it once, and he had this terrified look in his eyes and uncontrollable drooling. I'm sure it was some form of aversion therapy. Those damn Romulins did this to Spock once. You can't trust Romulins or TV Stock Brokers.

Look, I did years of Shakespeare in a theater no less, before my stint on the small screen. I am not a performing chimp.

Unless of course, you have some bucks like PriceLine. Then I'll be your he-byatch.

Ricardo Mantalban (sp?), is also pretty offended by that role he played, other than having an opportunity to show his awesome pecks. He pops up on the Christian broadcasting shows now and then -- really sad. They don't even pay scale.

But, to be topically appropriate, I could just scream; "Limbauuuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhh!"

Wait, was I just having a conversation about integrity? Damn, these pills were supposed to prevent these senior moments...

I didn't know Al Gore was so altruistic. I was told that Exxon was really the nice people, who are just getting us gasoline because that's just the way they roll.

But I'm wondering if there isn't a hidden agenda for them with Gasoline and keeping pollution issues on the "back burner" if you'll endure a pun. I think we all got fooled by the Tobacco companies telling us that nicotine was not a problem.

I'm sure someone made a bundle telling people that cigarettes were bad for you.
Step 1: Alert people to a life destroying hazard.
Step 2: ... something, something...
Step 3: Profit!
Thank God George Bush Senior just skipped all this diabolical stuff and played golf. What a noble way to patronize country clubs. That man is a role model for children everywhere who dream of growing up, making money, and then spending it only to better other, really, really wealthy people.

That is impressive. You have a realization from someone merely "saying" a bald truth, without any of this wasteful evidence, explanation, or exposition.

It's like enjoying books by merely reading the title. That saves a lot of time so that you can go quickly on to your next profound realization without spending money at Barnes and Noble. But of course, I'll drop $4.50 on a double mocha cappuccino -- "tall" or "biggie sized". Without buying books, I could probably get two next time.

I think first, we need to deal with the real issue that Olgierd has pointed out with his keen Conservative mind; We must invade Europe, so that we can free it from being surrounded on all sides by "not Europe."

Once we get Europe out of where they are now -- then we can deal with this Obama-mania that is sweeping the nation.

Imagine people who want to build bridges rather than blow them up! These Socialists are a menace indeed.

Re: John McCain, set to music

William_Shatner — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:08:50 -0000

@Olgierd,

"Choose Obama and you'll be exactly where Europe is."

Europe is in Europe right? *Shudder* -- that would be that I'd be blogging to you right now sitting in Berlin. Wow. I could handle the great health care -- but Merckle? That lady just doesn't now how to take a back rub. Ladies that don't know how to be affectionate are a real pooper in the punch bowl.

O'Hura was always that way -- just too good for us. You know, maybe that was McCoy as played by Walter Mathow. Yeah, the only other person on the cast who did any acting before. A few soaps and Westerns. Oh wait -- that was Deforest Kelly. Damn, it's a good thing we didn't have Walter Mathow on our show -- that would have been a real bummer.

>> As to "Obama, "gimmie more" " -- I'm not sure if that is the threat you think it is. If you want less, then I'm sure someone will give you a LOT more of that. In Mexico, they don't have these Liberal Socialist problems. And, they almost have good tequila. I wonder why so many of them are hanging around California working on lawns. Well, it's not quite so important as this idea that Mrs. Clinton is a man. So, since Mr. Clinton is such a nice person, he must have been Chelsea's mother. So, Mrs. Clinton is a strong man, and this bothers you because you prefer McCain as an almost strong man?

Maybe you have some issues. Oh, wait. McCain is a man. Clinton wants more, not less, and Obama is lazy? There's a stereotype in there somewhere. I guess it's OK that McCain is a man. The rest of these people sound like they have issues.

I can understand the concern, of basing your fears on uncertain, rhetorical potential possible fears, rather than the certainty of complete failure, graft and corruption that is the Bush policy.

Democrats are a bad choice because they could "potentially" surpass the economy destroying reality that is Conservative economic policy. Better to deal with the devil you know, rather than the uncertainty of the random person who dropped by to help.

I'm predicting in Hostel III, and Saw V, you will have more characters going back into harms way to try and reason with their tormentors. Since horror plots are worn out, this might be a really great way to get dramatic tension. So yeah, John McCain would be good for more dramatic tension in America. Things should get really exciting with another Republican President in the White House.

I'm hoping for playing the role of Karl Rove -- that man has depth. I'll have to drown some kittens to get into the part.

Well, it would make more sense than Afghanistan or Iraq -- since outside of Saudi Arabia, that's where most of the Al Qaeda are skulking about.

I'm sure if he starts dropping hints that he will spend Billions on useless bombers, that GM's ABC news will realize that he is a pure foreign policy genius.

Did I mention how brilliant George Lucas is? Did I? That man is also a genius.

The old Mac and the new Mac? Eh?
Does your old mac want to invade countries? Then this analogy would make complete sense.

I have a Mac from around 2003, and it has not killed and raped the toaster yet. I'll keep an eye out -- thanks for the heads up.

I'm sure there are a lot of places where the important issues of the day are completely ignored.

Have you tried watching any major cable news lately? Something like Fox or CNN should entertain you for hours without dealing with challenging subjects.

Rush, as soon as you and I can find a source -- I really think we could both do Heroine. It seems to do wonders for weight control. Oxycontin might be lo-cal, but I recently read an article that your brain raises your blood sugar level if you just taste sweet things. So, without sugar to raise your metabolism, you actually gain more weight eating sugar substitutes than if you just ate French Food.

If you are ever down in Los Angeles, I know some great French restaurants that don't tell tales if someone is breaking Bill O'Reilly's embargo. I think he enjoys the Paté there himself -- that's how good security is.

Jeez, I hope none of this comes back to haunt me.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of your politics, or your, well personality. But I don't think any of that should be held against you. I just like you for who you are, deep, deep down inside, regardless of how you look or your personality. I think I just have a thing for power. I'm aware of this peccadillo in myself, and I think I have a handle on it.

But most of all, you really know how to enjoy things. That reminds me of me. We suck the juice out of life. I've never met anyone more talented at this than me -- until of course, you. You suck on those cigars, those young latin, um, well, I wouldn't call them -- um. Yeah, well from a distance they "look" like girls. Hey, I'm from Hollywood -- I don't judge. I hang out with James Spader, and you know, if I could have a woman like him, with that charisma and those teeth -- I would be a happy man.

Well heck, yes, I am a happy man. That was my whole point. You and I know how to enjoy ourselves. Kudos, Rush.

Well, I'm sure that he made his problems well known, because the dittoheads were not really coming up with any solutions.

Copying may be the sincerest form of flattery,... but the dittoheads were just repeating; "Airport Extreme is not storing my WEP passwords and I have to re authenticate it." As if they were saying something profound. They don't seem to know that questions tend to pitch "up" at the end.

That's why Neal Cavouto on Fox is so successful. He could say; "Is Obama a wahabiist?" And everyone would think it was evidence. Well, one man's question mark is another man's period. And one woman's period, is another man's pain in the ass -- heh. Am I right?

Laughing Out Loud.

Rush, I will have to say that you are not fat. As a Pleasantly Plump man myself, I can attest that I can carry it well.
It also helps to wear cashmere. And vests. They add a certain dignity -- like you could quit being fat if you weren't so busy being profound. Girls dig that.

I don't have any problem with the ladies myself, so maybe I can give you a few pointers on how to actually get girls to like you, rather than going on those under-age Viagra romps in Latin America.

And while we are trading tips, perhaps you could tell me good locations to go for under-age Viagra romps in Latin America that don't show up in Rand McNally. Too many of these girls in Los Angeles want relationships, or to name drop that they "slept with the Captain -- and I don't mean Captain Morgan!" This could get back to my wife -- at least I think so.

Am I married?

Anyway, Rush. You need to quit this political radio. It's old hat and the times are changing, and corporations can hire ten Glenn Becks for one Rush Limbaugh. You are a victim of your own success, and being a shill doesn't pay what it used to. It's like you started Desktop Publishing, but now Quark is getting taken over by "good enough" PageMaker projects, and everyone is undercutting you on price.

Do you really want to fight that battle? How long until people in India shed that accent and the last impediment to outsourcing patriotic speech on the radio is licked? And not in a good way. Sure, they may be bad at tech support -- but they have to read the one manual from Dell computers, written by people using Macs. Figuring out things to rant about while promoting ways to rip off the Middle Class just isn't as tricky as guiding someone's grandma in how to restore her network config file. Believe me, I know -- I have relatives who bug me all the time to help them with computers. So I buy them a Mac and they quit talking to me. I hope that's a good thing.

I just want so say that America is better off without you. And you. are probably better off without America. You are too good for America and we do not deserve you. I think you would be much better off, preaching the benefits of "tough love" and getting rid of Liberal Social programs in Mexico. They really, really need this sort of advice, to stave off all the laziness that will be ruining that country for guys like you and me, in 20 or 30 years from now.

Thin Clients -- that's what you want.
I think they also call it "Cloud Computing."

Perhaps I'll just use my flash drive in my pocket as I go from Mac to Mac -- that way I won't have to be exposed to all these opportunities to look at my inner thoughts, or bank accounts. Yeah, definitely that last bit has more value to me.

Amazing! I just logged myself in!
Stardate, 2008, 02 something, something.
I've found myself on a blog about a person who is not what he seems. For some reason, everyone knows this. Fascinating.

I was going to report that I should start discussing computers and internets because it has done so much for Wil Wheaton. I probably get laid a lot more than him, but for Wil, he is pretty successful. It isn't like he invented the iPhone or anything. He just seems to have a nice way of talking about iPhone-like devices.

I'm told I am a lot smarter than I seem -- that could have been a compliment.

What was I talking about -- oh yes, why I must blog. I must. If I post 300 times to this web site, I think it will increase my Page Rank. And that is good. There are people on MySpace who are getting corporate sponsorships for just being charming. Think how much better I can do. I plan to out rank them all!

I suppose I should mention something now related to the topic -- I've heard topical is good. And being good is important. So, I guess I should ask that for my 298 posts to this blog, do I have to actually come up with new, important sounding points or can I just cut and paste the same comment?

I suppose I could ask Wil Wheaton to adapt some formula with Yahoo Pipes to automate unique comments. It would be based upon "copy" "OS" and "Beating a dead horse with object code." You see? I'm a lot smarter than I seem. Anyway, Wil is going to help me, because we have this unwritten code -- the code of the Star Trek club. And I still outrank him.
